We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The lands that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, are the traditional, ancestral, unceded homelands of the indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

🐾 First Tracks of Winter 🐾
This week Patrick Suddeth, UVLT Seasonal Land Steward, conducted a monitoring visit after the fresh snow and came across various sets of different animal tracks! The best time to look for winter tracks is about 2-3 days after a fresh snow, as long as there has been no rain or very warm weather.
Winter tracking helps us see what kind of animals are moving through the woods, and what corridors they are using. This is something we have been studying and recording for the past two winters for UVLT`s Wildlife Connectivity Study.
The Connectivity Study is ongoing, and we are still collecting donations to help fund this project. To support this study visit: uvlt.org/donate-now/ and designate your gift towards the "Wildlife Connectivity Study."

❄️ Walking in a winter wonderland! ❄️
Yesterday, UVLT Land Steward and Volunteer Coordinator @c.bernyk was out at Smith Pond Shaker Forest in Enfield, NH. According to her, the pond is just starting to freeze over, and it was actively snowing, making for a pretty magical scene. A reminder that we can engage with the land in ALL seasons!
